When to rotate aftermarket tires - Michelin Ps2
I have 19" Michelin Ps2's 245/40/19 all around on work vsxx 19 x 8.5 +42 (with 5mm spacer making it +37). I put them on approx at 26900kms (16714miles).
I am currently at 32900kms (20443miles) and (touch wood) no problems with the tires.
Approx when should I get the dealer to rotate them?
Thanks,
Clint

Usually no point in equalizing [rotating] more frequently than every oil change 3,750 miles or 90 days.
Alot depends on how much your camber exceeds tire design points of -0.5 degrees static and what the actual camber is at speed and % of turning vs straight ahead miles.
I usually use sensitive finger tips to feel directional feathering saw tooth wear.

Hi Clint.
Especially with a front wheel drive vehicle, it is a wise idea to rotate and also rebalance the tires every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Doing this on schedule will help keep your tires wearing evenly, stay quiet and obtain maximum mileage from them. If you drive your car very hard, even more frequent rotation/rebalancing will be of benefit.
